I like the Pinside community a lot and there are a lot of fantastic people here, but there is a small handful of people that seem over the top in terms of being a shill/hater, rude, or extra passive aggressive in their tone. As a result, I'm up to 3 people I have placed on ignore and I'm glad the functionality exists as I'm here to have fun and if I'm reading comments by a certain person that consistently bother me, perhaps it's best to automatically bypass them. I'm just curious if many other people have used it and how many times. Obviously, if you have me on ignore, you won't see this post

This topic is fine as long as folks don't name names and just stick to numbers and/or how they use the feature of the site.

What if I say the people I ignored were really annoying trolls who followed me from thread to thread being dicks?

Then that's just your reason for using the ignore feature.

Great! There are a bunch of idiots I should probably ignore, but then there would not be as much humor in the day.

And to answer the original question, I have never used the ignore feature.

I guess I just have thicker skin than some around here.

I ignored 2 people here, but only cuz they were extraordinarily rude and opinionated on RGP. Didn’t and wouldn’t deal with them on Pinside. Been happy ever since.

I’m starting to use it more. It’s never personal just keeps some of the constant riff raff at bay. Also when I saw I could have their posts not show up at all, that helped too.

It was starting to really annoy me, so best for me to just delete those posts. Again nothing personal, just helps me enjoy the site more.

None. I like reality in my life and that includes seeing and hearing it all..........Even the things I don’t always like. Sometimes it’s the people you hate the most that make you think the most.

Two. And it's not them being offensive, it's them just saying the same thing over and over and over again. Both are "well respected" members of Pinside too which is kind of funny to me.

I try to be tolerant and respect opposing viewpoints.
Some folks are just so hateful and rude, most are helpful and hilarious.
The ignore feature is a beautiful thing.

The only ones I have on ignore are the ones who just make a pop up account and list machines for sale that you can clearly see are a scam using someone else photos of the machine or of course the poor written description etc etc.... I only do that just in-case a mod misses that account as a spammer and I'm sure not to deal with them, ever.

Once had you on ignore over your Wiggler comment. That was a long time ago. No one on ignore. O-Din's opinions keep it interesting.

What did I say about the Wiggler, besides it's unobtanionomousness? I quit looking for that one a long time ago after many disappointments.

It was number one on the list and I felt it shouldn't. You felt different. Long time ago. Appreciate Wiggler more since researching it. Zipper flipper game.

Ah, I see. But one must understand pinside is home to flavors of the week. I'm sure there are those that are equally upset that Williams now holds the three EM 100 top spots as well.

To be frank, I only have one entity on ignore, from when it showed up here as RGP faded.

Happy to say, I have no idea if it is still around.

The ones you know about? Most of the people in the weekly meetings are pretty sure they go un-noticed. But we have not counted all survey replies from the ones who get the newsletter.

Oh wait, wrong guy.

5. 3 left, either they were banished or got sick of themselves. The other 2 got tired of getting kicked out of threads and are a shadow of their former obnoxious selves. One of those people is on this thread. No ignores at this time.
